Product Description
TYCO TELECOMMUNICATIONS (COMMSCOPE)GS3-1650-A2 COLD-APPLIED BURIED SPLICE CLOSURE 944912-000 Fast and simple installation
Protects against impact and abrasion
Uses less than half the encapsulant of other closures
Fast and easy re-entry
Accommodates a wide range of cable diameters
The GS3 1650 wrap-around splice closure system provides a fast, simple way to seal and encapsulate telephone cable splices in nonpressurized, buried cable.
GS3 1650 closure sealing sheet material is composed of several layers of specially blended polymers and gels and an aluminum moisture vapor barrier layer. The outer compression wrap provides excellent mechanical strength and provides superior protection from forces such as impact and abrasion.
The innovative Urethane Delivery System drives encapsulant into the core of the cable, providing protection superior to that of traditional poured urethane systems. The compact shape requires less than half the encapsulant of other closures. Filling is simple: no funnel is required. Re-entry is fast and easy.
No special splice supporting procedures are needed for installation. Furthermore, up to three cables can enter each end. No special endplates or complicated cutting is required. The GS3 1650 splice closure system accommodates a wide range of cable diameters; no minimum cable diameter is required.
The GS3 1650 splice closure system is available in diameters for cable sizes up to 2400 pair. Extended length closures are also available to accommodate sheath openings up to 37 inches and for cable sizes up to 3600 pair.
